MUSIC AND DRAMA.

MILE. RHEA.
This popular French actress appeared at
Portland Theatre last evening in the charac-
ter of Galatea, supported by Mr.. Edward
Bell, and her own company Gilbert's beau
tiful drama is a favorite among theatre 60
ers, and Mile. Rhea, by her personal beauty,
her fine figure and her classic dressing, is
well adapted to the varied poses of the
statue beloved by Pygmalian. As the Gala
tea endowed with life, Mile Rhea was very
pleasing; her artlessness. her joyous temper
ament, so well contrasted with her darker
moods, and the delicate humor that she i'm
parts into the character all charmed her au-
ditors, and she received the heartiest an
plause.
Tonight Mile. Rhea appears in her new
play entitled Fairy Fingers" The play
centres about Hortense, who, having been
left in poverty, is adopted by some relatives
who combine family pride with ability to get
rid of their patrimony; and grandson, the
heir, who is expected to marry an heiress,
and thus retrieve their fortunes, is blind
enough from worldly point of view to fall
in love instead with the penniless Hortense.
A scene follows, and HOrtense, flying to
Paris, enters the dress making business I'M
der an assumed name and becomes a cele-
brated modiste with the world of fashion at
her feet, much to the CONSERVATION of her
aristocratic relatives. Hortense becomes
rich, helps her relatives when they are deep
ly involved in misfortunes, and the last act
is general reconciliation.
BUNCH OF KEYS.
The sale of seats for Hoyt's Bunch of
Keys" performance, will begin at Portland
fTs1.. L.,
World says: "A Bunch of Keys" drew a
very large audience at the Grand Opera
House Monday night. The unfailing sue
cess of this piece is marvellous. There
seems to be no let-up whatever in its draw
ing powers. The company now playing it
does very well. Marietta Nash as Teddy
Keys is wonderfully bright and agile. Her
dancing throws the house into raptures and
she is recalled every night She is very
promising young lady. Jas. b. Mackie as
Jonas Grimes is unexcelled in his way and
Is very strong feature of the piece.

HE WAS a MAINE BOY.
How and Why People from the Pine
Tree State Fared Sumptuously
and Did Well.

AS Maine guests at the CONSTITUTIONAL
celebration return the praises of the occasion
and the hospitality of the Philadephians
which were brought by those first at home
are repeated. Col. H. S. Osgood said to
reporter of the PRESS whom he met yester-
day that no people were treated better, he
doubted if any were treated quite so well in
fact, as the people from Maine. They were
given seats on TIE stand with President
Cleveland where they could see everything,
and heaI all the compliments that were
made on the fine appearance of the Maine
militia as they marched by in full company
front as steadily as veterans. The bearing
of the Maine soldiers was most excellent
throughout. General Sheridan wound up
his expression of approval with this hearty
declaration THE Maine soldiers always did

One of the pleasantest incidents of the oc-
casion to the Maine people was their meet

attentions by Pennsylvania. Incidental

they were delighted TO find that their COM

the State should be proud of. He introduced
himself as John Grady, but his friends call
him Hon. John c. Grady, President of the
Pennsylvania State Senate. He was an
Eastport boy when the war broke out, and

years ago, and entered in the practice of

MISTAKEN IDENTITY.
How Fred CIedhli Threw Himself
Out of a Job.

September 9th Mr.. Ira True, the detective
employed on the McNeally case, received
letter from Alexander MCGOWAN, detective
at Winnipeg, Canada-to whom he had for
warded photographs of McNeally the Saco
bank robber-stating that he had ascertained
that there was young man living in Winni-
peg who came from Maine, named Gledhill,
who was wanted at home for shortage of
some $1,000. This Gledhill had stated that
he knew young McNeally very well, and that
If he came out to Winnipeg he should do all
he could to protect him. MCGOWAN had
ascertained that Gledhill, who had been
long time in Winnipeg, was going to Mon
treal, and he thought it might pay to keep an
eye on him.
Last Wednesday Gledhill arrived in Mon
treal, where Detective True had sent a de-
tective to look after him. He registered at
the Balmoral Hotel under the name of Hill,
and soon after went to the st. Lawrence
Hall, where be remained about half an hour.
The Portland detective and a Montreal de-
tectiye were awaiting him, and had with
them photograph of McNeally. When
Gledhill came out of st. Lawrence Hall he
was accompanied by young man the very
image of McNeally. The detectives hearts
bounded. They thought of that $500 and
already fancied it in their possession.
The Montreal detective stepped up 10
Gledhil's companion, and showing him the
photograph. asked him if he recognized it,
The young man said he should say it was his
picture and wished to know what he wanted.
The detective replied that ii he acknowI-
edged the picture it was not necessary for
him to say what he was wanted for The
young man said if the officer would step
round to the Canadian Pacific offices with
him his father, who was one of the officers,
would identify him. With incredulous faces
the detectives did accompany him thither.
The photograph was shown the dignified
officer who was claimed by tie youth us his
father, and that gentleman said he should
say it was his sons picture. The son was
brought in and readily recognized. and the
officers sadly saw their golden visions dis
appear.
1t seems that Gledhill had come to Mon
treal to fill place offered by the father Of
the gentleman who resembled McNeally.
When this affair occurred, however, and the
gentleman ascertained who Gledhill was and
what he had done he declined to give him
the position. Gledhill is described as look
ing very seedy, and it is said has tried to
make an arrangement with the Citizens Re
lief Society to be allowed to come back and
pay up his defalcation in instalments if he
can get job at home.

a Hot Chase.

Yesterday noon Henry P. Mccarthy gave
Officer John M. Hussey orders TO arrest
Thomas Nally for whom he is bondsman.
Nally forfeited his bond which he gave for
his appearance at court to answer to the
charge of throwing stone at Officers Greedy
and Frank while they were making an arrest
on Fore street. He was also wanted for
stealing bell. Officer Hussey discovered
Nally on Fore street near Gorham's Corner,
and started for him. Nally saw the officer
and started on the run down Fore to Union
street, followed by Hussey, at full speed.
From Union street he ran between the
buildings and through the alley to Moulton
street. From thence through the Market to
Franklin, to Deer, to the corner of Middle
and Pearl, where he was stopped by a man
just as officer Hussey arrived. Nally was
arrested and taken to the station, but he ran
until exhausted in his effort to escape.
